Play Therapy

The team is made up of qualified play therapists experienced in working with children and young people with a range of presenting behaviours.
The team are able to carry out assessments to identify the emotional needs of pupils and how these are impacting on learning and behaviour. Recommendations may include individual therapy, therapy to include family members, therapeutic group work, group therapy or tailored staff training in responding therapeutically to children displaying distressed behaviour.
Play therapy is a gentle yet effective technique which can lead the child on a life changing journey to a more hopeful and positive place.
